Pevocs’s Complete Guide to Pokemon Ultra Sun and Pokemon Ultra Moon Z Crystals

Previous Z Crystal Guide

Poster Version below the cut:

Since I'm already on an Orre roll today and I've had things laying around, here's more concepts from Driver’s Ed Class Hell™!

I talked about this months ago with the impending release of Pokémon Sun and Moon, but I suggested the possibility of Cipher artificially creating Z-Crystals for Shadow Pokémon. Well, I finally drew it out and made notes. Here it is: the Shadium Z. I figured since I proposed it so many months ago here, I may as well share it! Here are the notes I made (because my chicken scratch is impossible to read and I organized it horribly):

Can only be applied to Pokémon with their hearts closed.

Comes in three different forms depending on if the attack is Physical, Special or Status.

Physical: Shadow Seize - A move where the user swiftly targets the target's weakpoint with their fangs, claws, etc. depending on the user. Has a high critical hit ratio.

Special: Shadow Blast - The user fires an immensely powerful beam at the target. Based on XD001's exclusive move.

Status: Shadow Taint - Inflicts a new status condition: Berserk. The afflicted target will use attacks at random and can hit itself, an ally, the enemy, or even its own trainer.

As with other Shadow moves, they are super effective against any type.

Using a Shadow Z-Move can seriously harm the user in question, but it also further shuts away the Pokémon's heart. Therefore, it is not recommended to use them if you are trying to guide the Shadow Pokémon through the purification process.

Shadow Pokémon cannot otherwise utilize Z-Crystals or Z-Moves.

And now for the dance I came up with!

I'm aware the dance looks really lazily designed, but keep in mind--I intentionally designed it this way. Since Z-Moves are meant to be extremely passionate parts of battle, a sort of passion shared between the trainer and its Pokémon, the dance for a Shadow Z-Move would be impassionate because Shadow Pokémon have their hearts closed. They are emotionless and incapable of feeling this kind of passion. The Z-Crystal basically forces them to exert an immense amount of power--that's why it's so dangerous to the user.

As for the actual dance, the trainer simply stiffens their stance, lowers their head to face the ground (probably in a very sudden movement), and then kneels down while crossing their arms over their chest--going along with the whole theme of closed hearts.
